My Magical System

Chapter 121: Bare-handed mastery

Yeman went to the forest not far from his house. He glanced around when he arrived, looking for a good location.

He then walked a little more towards the deep of the area. For some reason, the Lord’s Domain had enlarged once again. Probably the reason was the breakthrough of his Soul Fountain.

He then started making a fighting stance but before that, he glanced left and right, making sure no one was watching. Then he started his shadow fighting. The reason he came here to practice was that he would die in embarrassment if someone saw him. He was an awkward person back on earth. Very self-conscious. He wasn’t used to having someone seeing him doing something like this.

He sent combinations of punches into the air. His punches produced whipping noises. But he stopped upon realizing that what he did was just a waste of time and effort. It was so awkward! Also, he wasn’t used to it and would never be.

He admired the boxers in his former world. They were good with shadow boxing.

Yeman decided to stop his shadow fighting. It would not be beneficial to him anyway. Well, he felt embarrassed.

He decided to look for a big tree.

.....

After a couple of seconds of searching, he was finally facing a large tree. He estimated the trunk was about 2 meters radius.

Without wasting time, he summoned soul energy on his hand.

The system told him that he could summon the soul energy and hardened his skin.

He then summoned about 10 points of soul energy on his hand. The skill was almost identical to his Finger Bullet. But this time, he wasn’t fortifying an object but his skin.

Now his right hand was enveloped by the red-orange aura. It was the color of his soul energies. But this time, he won’t be using his Finger Bullet skill.

Yeman punched the tree trunk. His fist bore on it but did not pierce through. But Yman could still feel a slight pain in his fist, though not as painful when he wasn’t using his soul energy to fortify his hand.

Before, he had to bear the pain whenever he punched a sturdy target. But with the help of fortifying ability, he finally had a way to prevent the pain. But after the punch, the 10 points soul energies disappeared. His hand went back to normal.

He checked his soul energy and saw the number 590/600 on it.

Now he could finally use his soul energy to fortify his body and also increase his strength.

Yeman once again summoned soul energies. But this time, he used 20 points. Much denser and thicker soul energies exuded from his hand.

He again punched the tree. The tree shook terribly. Leaves and dry branches fell; birds and other small animals and insects evacuated in haste. He noticed a much larger and much deeper hole on the tree trunk compared to the former punch.

Well, he used only 10 points before, and now he used 20 points. So it was natural that his punch this time was more destructive.

Anyhow, he was surprised at the sturdiness of the tree. He guessed that it wasn’t just an ordinary tree.

The bare-handed skill mastery was a passive skill that enabled him to control his soul energy. Not only that, but it also helped him to understand a little about martial arts.

However, since it was only a beginner tier, his understanding of martial combat was still lacking. Well, better than none.

Without resting, he continued with his training. He added more and more soul energy points with his attack.

Yeman noted something. The less pain he felt when he attacked, the more strength he could apply in his punch.

After his soul points dropped to 300, he decided to stop and walked around the forest. This Lord’s Domain intrigued him very much.

While he was walking, he noticed some herbs and plants that he believed could be processed as medicine points.

He then took some and started processing. Every process of material spent 2-5 soul energy points.

After having enough medicine points, he began synthesizing a potion. Every time he synthesized a potion, he received some percent in proficiency.

But the higher his proficiency level would become the slower his proficiency would improve.

The process of making medicine took him about an hour and a half. Finally, he was able to make enough pills. He used the herbs from Gacha to make the potion he needed to synthesize.

A minute later, he succeeded in powering up. He was now able to upgrade his skills. He then started leveling up his first-tier sub-skill and the 2nd-tier of it.

He leveled up the first and second-tier to 2. Well, to advance it, he needed the requirements potions.

Based on the information that his system had fed him, his body could not handle the sudden power-up of his skills. So, he needed to lay a better foundation first. Just like making a house, he needed a solid foundation before building the actual house.

Out of curiosity, he tried his Level 2 sub-skill.

He unequipped the sword from the sub-weapon and equipped the arrow.

He noticed the zoom ability indeed increased. The second tier skill for his arrow sub-weapon was a passive skill that increased his accuracy.

At level 1, his accuracy increased by 5 percent. But after leveling up to 2, it increased to 10 percent.

Yeman took the cheeseburger from his storage and ate it while on the way home.

In the palace of the Whitestone empire, everyone was very busy. There was a banquet coming for the subjugators who survived and successfully reclaimed the fallen town.

The emperor already sent one of his errand men to distribute the invitation parchment.

The first one who got the invitation was those subjugators who came from great families.

After Hemina received the invitation, she could not settle. In front of her were different kinds of dresses.

Not only that, his trusted aid was still bringing more and more.

But for some reason, she could not choose. She wondered why. Even her aid was wondering what happened to the lady. She was supposed to be not the type of person who indulged in such superficial things.

But why is she acting so different today?
